Performance Comparisons
We’ve brought together a range of benchmarks and performance data from external sources to enable you to more easily compare different CPU and Graphics card options.Â
Performance
How many FPS will I get?
This is perhaps the most common question we get and often the hardest one to answer. How many FPS (Frames Per Second) you can expect to get in a game really is a matter of “it depends”, because results will vary wildly depending on which game you’re playing, what the resolution is (FHD, 2K, 4K), what level of detail you have configured and of course what hardware you’re using. But even then, performance can vary significantly between driver updates, game updates, windows updates and more! Most of the online tools for getting FPS answers are flat out wrong or are estimations at best. We’ve put together some guides on FPS and additional information on what to expect which you can find here.
Shipping and Delivery
How long will my order take?
We pride ourselves on completing the majority of all orders (including custom builds) within 24-48 hours of order receipt. Some parts need to come in from suppliers and can take 3-5 days, these parts are clearly labelled as “special order” in the online configuration tool. Once we’ve built the order, shipping can take anywhere from 2-10 days depending on where we are shipping and the shipping method you’ve selected. Priority (same-day) builds and Express Post shipping are available if you need your order extra fast.
